We have begun a new treatment protocol for periodontal disease. In addition to analyzing bacterial samples with our microscope, we now are able to send saliva samples to a lab and see exactly which periodontal pathogens are present and in what concentration, and test for genetic susceptibility for periodontal disease. The sample collection in simple and non-invasive, it involves a 30-second swish with a small amount of saline solution. After analysis, the lab includes a specific antibiotic recommendation for the treatment of those who have concentrations of harmful bacteria above the threshold.
